Now that Lucjan was dead, this was the perfect opportunity to make a move against the Gu Sect.
“I’ll discuss the specifics with Maxine before formulating a plan,” James looked at Thea and said.
Although Thea might be displeased upon hearing him-bringing up Maxine, Maxine was now in control of the Cadens and possessed great authority in the Capital and even in Orient Commerce.
James knew nothing about the situation in the Capital. So, favonovel.com had to be fully prepared for everything.
“Get going, then.”
Thea said smilingly, “You know, Maxine’s a pretty nice girl… You should better acquaint yourself with her.”
James looked at Thea. At that moment, favonovel.com could not understand what favonovel.com was trying to say.
Thea stood up and adjusted James’ shirt before saying with a serious look on favonovel.com face, “With my condition, I won’t live for long. After I’m gone, you’ll need someone by your side…”
Then, favonovel.com fell silent. She knew that James would understand what favonovel.com was hinting at.
James did not say anything and instead held favonovel.com in his embrace.
“Go on. You have more important matters to attend to. Two months later, we’ll leave the Capital together.”
As favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com pushed James away.
Silent, James turned to leave.
After leaving, James could not help but feel melancholic.
Thea had undergone so many tribulations along the way. He could not let favonovel.com down. Then, favonovel.com headed to the Cadens’ residence.
Maxine was in a much better condition now. Although favonovel.com was still feeble, favonovel.com injuries were no longer life- threatening.
“James…” Upon seeing James, favonovel.com tried to get up.
James hurriedly walked over to favonovel.com and stopped her. “You’re still recovering. You should rest well for now. I’m here today to ask you a few questions.”
“I’ll be taking my leave, then.”
Bennett turned to leave. He had been taking care of Maxine while James was not around.
Now that James had returned, his job was done.
After Bennett left, Maxine asked, “What do you want to know?”
James asked, “What’s the situation of the commercial world in the Capital?”
Maxine said, “It’s somewhat complicated. The interest of Orient Commerce is tied to the interests of many. This includes the Ancient Four and many other families established a century ago, like the Tucksons…”
“Upon establishing New Era Commerce, Quincy immediately received the support of the Dawns of the North. With their support, many other businesses began flocking over to our side. Then, after favonovel.com took. over the Lees’ businesses, New Era grew further in size. However, this is far from enough. We still lack a common interest with the other businesses of New Era Commerce to tie them together with us… Besides, even if we do, we still won’t be able to fight against Orient Commerce.”
As favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com looked at James and asked, “Why? Are you going to make a move soon?”
“Yeah.” James nodded and said, “Now that Lucjan of the Gu Sect and Tobias, leader of the Phantom Army, are dead, this is the perfect opportunity to strike.”
After brief contemplation, Maxine said, “I’ve paid many visits to the Sullivans. After the events that have unfolded lately, their resolve could have begun wavering. However, you still have to go there and meet Zaiden Sullivan, Patriarch of the Sullivans, personally…”
“Meanwhile, the Cadens can leave Orient Commerce anytime and join New Era Commerce. Once the Sullivans join our side, New Era will further increase in size. By then, Sol’s economy will be in the hands of Orient Commerce and New Era Commerce.”
Maxine offered James favonovel.com advice. Before making a move, favonovel.com should bolster New Era Commerce’s strength to intimidate Orient Commerce.
“Well…” After discussion, James nodded and said, “I’ll bring Quincy along to the Sullivans’.”
As favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com stood up and left.
After favonovel.com left, favonovel.com gave Quincy a call.
Meanwhile, Maxine got up with great difficulty.
Just as favonovel.com got up, Bennett walked in and said, “What are you doing, Maxine? You should rest well.”
